Important information and updates from Gympie East State School. Gympie East is a hidden gem amongst the schools of Gympie.

Located on Cedar Pocket Road off the Tin Can Bay Road, it nestles in its rural surroundings. Many Gympie residents don’t even know of its existence but it is sought out by parents looking for a small school with a big heart for their children to attend. Gympie East State School aims for academic excellence in a supportive and warm social climate. An environmentally sustainable ethos is integrated into our curriculum. At Gympie East State School we plan for a positive and successful future while recognising and honouring the traditions of the past.

Today at East, we had the pleasure of celebrating a very special member of our school community - Lynda from Gympie Hearing!

Thanks to the incredible generosity and support of Gympie Hearing, our school's chicken coop, Cluckingham Palace, has become a reality!

We were honoured to welcome Lynda to our parade today, where our school captains proudly presebted her with a Certificate of Appreciation to recognise the wonderful contribution Gympie Hearing has made to our school.

At East, we are incredibly fortunate to have local businesses who believe in our school and are willing to invest in opportunities and experiences for our students.

Lynda and the team at Gympie Hearing, we can't thank you enough! Your kindness and generosity have made a lasting difference to our school, and we are so grateful for your support.

That's what being part of the East community is all about!

A Zog-tastic Adventure for Year 1!

Our Year 1 students are off on a ROAR-some adventure to the Ginger Factory today!

As part of their English learning, students are preparing to write a retell of the much-loved story Zog by Julia Donaldson. What better way to bring the story to life than by exploring the magical Zog Trail!

Along the way, our little adventurers will step into Zog's world, explore the story and gather plenty of inspiration for their own writing back in the classroom!

We can't wait to hear all about their adventures and see their storytelling skills take flight!

Learning is always an adventure at East!
